Casa de Grapas (House of Staples)

Casa de Grapas. I planted some corn in my yard to the right of the house. It has already sprouted and this view should look a lot different in about one month when the stalks are higher.

Kitchen area

Four planks of wood: $8
Eight cinderblocks: $3
One piece of rope: $0.35
Homemade closet: Priceless

Bathroom, complete with hot-shower and pink shower curtain.
Yeah, that's right, pink shower curtain.

"Pila", or "sink that you use to wash everything that's too dirty to be washed inside".
Notice the compost container to the left; never thought worms could be so interesting.

  1. Nice blog, Jamie! Not much about the Peace Corps has changed in 40 years -- except for the hot showers!
